the subaru will win in terms of performance but at the price of fuel consumption, afaik, its AWD making it much more heavier than the Lancer GLS, a FWD.
The AWD on the Subaru Impreza 2.0R is overkill for its engine's output, but the car is fun to push to its performance boundaries. The AWD makes the tranny heavy. The A/T version is a wet-rag in terms of performance. If you are getting this car, make sure its a M/T.
The Lancer EX GLS is a good drive but lacks a few things to make it a better car. For one, the 16inch wheels makes the car "unsure" of it's handling. Changing to the 18inch wheels found on the GT/GTA cures that problem. Another thing, the GLS lacks the paddle shifters and rear stabilizer. The MX model has these and the price difference is not that big.
As for fuel consumption, the Lancer EX is better because it does not have to deal with the extra "load" of the AWD. The CVT in the Lancer EX makes driving it a smooth experience when driven softly, a quick accelerating monster when you floor the pedal.
BTW, one thing about AWD cars, they have a center differential. In the case of the Impreza, limited slip diff. If your tires are not the same size (either by mismatched wheel size or different tire wear rates for front/rear) you can encounter problems when the center diff tries to lock and release.
This can also be a problem if you have a different sized spare tire. You have to keep speed very low and dont drive far.
i agree with GH, the awd of the 2.0r is unnecesarry here in the philippines since we don't encouter snow or other severe road conditions. so it really is a disadvantage when it comes to regular driving since the FC is really bad because of it's awd. the only use of the 2.0r's awd here in the philippines is when it's raining hard and climbing up mountains since it lacks power. pero when it comes to build quality the 2.0r has a much better build quality than the lancer, it just feels more solid.
sa gas consumption nya mga ilang liter per km ng subaru? anong top speed ng subaru saka lancer?tnx...
Fuel consumption:
Subaru Impreza 2.0R
11.90 (MT, mfg.) 8.33 (MT, test) 12.20 (AT, mfg.) 8.33 (AT, test)
Mitsubishi Lancer EX GTA (GLS has same rated manufacturer's km/L)
10.20 (mfg.) 9.01 (test)
My Lancer EX GLS, I have cruised at 200kph on the SCTEX but that is not yet it's top speed.
I get 8.7 km/l on the Impreza 2.0R M/T.
Mabilis naman acceleration, pag nasa 3k - 5k rpm ang upak mo. Very stable at 180kph.
Its the closest feeling BMW car I've driven. Solid na solid.
Now on the AWD thing, on the A/T version...bleh! On the M/T version, penalty is negligible. Sa akyatan, walang tatalo sa 4wd though.
For the gulongs. No issues on the uneven wear, basta yun gulong mo, lahat same size.
Unlike sa 2wd, you can have different sized tires front vs rear. Di mo pwede gawin sa AWD. Center diff can adjust to the differences in tire wear.
Your call though. Test drive twice for each car. Whatever your butt likes, you buy. :D
But of course, with the AT version. FAST = Lancer, Solid = Impreza.
From a tsikot member who has a GTA.
Post mo na lang in the Lancer EX thread you are looking for GT/GTA mags and PM you contact their details & price.
Or...
you can go to http://www.mitsulancerph.net and check the "for-sale" section of their forums. Currently there is one posted but not sure if its taken already since it's relatively cheap.
